11 information disaster risks

This article from Redpill Linpro discusses 11 information disaster risks, and the was in which proper document management can help avoid them. The built-in slides could make a useful teaching tool in my Records Management class. The risks are:

Increasing use of digital records

The lack of information hubs

The quantity of information produced

The lack of proper document management tools

Inefficient searching

Interdependence of internal and external parties

Different levels of authority

Materials from external parties

Multiple access points

Different document formats

Velocity of information

This is not a complete list, of course, since it doesn’t mention matters such as security, human error, and so forth, but this company produces document management software, so the emphasis of the 11 items is understandable.
